The worst thing in life might be to witness someone who has lost their own capacity to enjoy life and their own potential, verve, and élan (sorry for the redundancy).
For the strength of the corporate litigator, the single parent, writer, artist, singer, comedian, runner, overall athlete, the scientist, etc. is purely emotional strength.
Yes, everyone has certain attributes and strengths that one can raise to the highest levels but it is by their “own command” and inner potency. “By will alone, I set my heart and my potential in motion.”
Become good at one talent, and then focus and transfer what you have learned to becoming great at something else. No limitations, meine heute freunde.
The reference to Run, Rabbit, Run!!! is a book written by John Updike, published in 1960, Rabbit, Run. The novel is about a man that runs away from his life and responsibilities; his own house in ruins, when his family cares so deeply for his welfare, and he turns his heart and being into a deep despair (what a loss of potential!).
So take the reins of your own power, and hold it strongly in your own life and hands, work to save your own life and soul and the others around you that care for you.
But, then again, it is your choice. You can choose to be a rabbit that runs or a lion that protects the pride.
With the grandest affection,
HippoParamus/Silas Marner (the rabbit who has become a lion)
P.S. - I have to call Google tomorrow and tell them that they must include an underline function for blog-sport!

I Had to Get it Out
Ladies, Tomboys, and Gentlemen:
I’ll have to start working again next week for the next company. However, I choose where I want to go and when I go back to work (most of the time). That’s why, “while on la vacanza,” I had to work on my blog; I had to get all my thoughts, feelings, and emotions out –it’s the one indulgence I have besides throwing parties for my family and friends (hence, the nickname, Bacchus, from my friends at Vassar).
So, if in the coming weeks, my blog-sport becomes less frequent, I apologize. But, I will be working in spirit if not in actual writing. Because, the whole point of the matter is that each relationship must be mutual and equal. Otherwise, any relationship will devolve like a flushing toilet (clockwise in the Northern hemisphere and anti-clockwise in the Southern hemisphere).
So, I urge each and every one of you in the interim before “my next push forward” to be kind to yourselves, family, and friends for nothing is a coincidence and each person that one meets is a potential benefactor, friend, and well-wisher. And, each foe, is just a misperception in thought because one really doesn’t need to have any enemies if one chooses not to in one’s own conceptual framework.
So, take a chance on yourself!
With grand affection,
HippoParamus

For Art and Music Are Expressions of Love
I must be the luckiest person alive for I live in a Norman Rockwellian world. [Aside – I used to think that Salvador Dali was the best painter ever but now I know that the best painter who ever lived was Norman Rockwell for he painted everyone in their best light; the light that emanates from a child’s heart - pure, innocent, and true].
To me, everyone is beautiful – the Great Creator’s works of art.
Technically, no one can match Salvador Dali – his “last supper” painting (now hanging in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.) is the best painting ever produced in the history of the world – because he paints not only in three dimensions but six on two dimensions (the canvas). [Aside – they say four dimensions, but it’s really six].
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sacrament_of_the_Last_Supper
But, also see Norman Rockwell: http://www.nrm.org/
You be the judge: technical perfection or perceptual perfection?
Cheers,

An Earnest Question for Rex
Rexemus:
How do we change global and human consciousness? I am asking you because I don’t know myself.
I already know that I am fully self-acclimated as you are.
Yet, I have faith in each human being right now that exists on this blue marble (except for the dickbags – those insincere little Bourgeois, lower-middle-class people who think that gold cufflinks will make their career).
My question is: how do we change this situation?
Please give me your analysis.
With the sky, the moon, the sun, and the sum of all this solar system,
HippoParamus
P.S. - let's include Orion in the mix.

Re-enliven the Oslo Accords
Everyone is guilty in this horrendous matter but it is your choice whether you want to rectify this mess or stand at attention and repeat like parrots: “history just repeats itself.”
It doesn’t have to for we can build armies of animosity or make the choice to build our collective security by building our families, our homes, and our relationships. Again, it is your choice.
Seventeen years later, Oslo II could, in my estimation, be fair for all parties involved. Of course, our idiot Commander in Chief should have paid more attention to this grave matter. During his campaign, he made a statement that Israel should discontinue its general policy of developing new settlements in Palestine. Then, when in “power” (he really doesn’t have any verve or power because he is a total wimp that doesn’t live up to his word), he backed off his prior commitment. What a consummate politician; a constant liar swaying with the winds in a Zeitgeist whirlpool – he might as well give up right now (a one-termer who promised so much and is delivering so little).
That stupid health care bill is the pig of “big brother,” a dictation from a Communist dictator who forces people to do this or that based on his own misperceived notions that he knows what’s better for everyone than they know for themselves, thereby complicating an already swirling mess.
That being said, he’s still impressive in his own right (I guess he’s eloquent to some degree). But, then again, tele-prompters and Presidential speech writers come in handy, I suppose.
But, I demand to see his birth certificate.
Okay, I’m getting off point – back to the Oslo Accords.
Everyone says: “oh, it’s so complicated.” But, I say, it’s very simple: back and forth, back and forth. If you hurt me, I will hurt you (ad infinitum). Animosities built over the past 62/63 years. It’s so sad and pathetic that Jewish kids are signing missiles aimed at Palestine and Palestinian suicide bombers are exploding themselves and innocent civilians in Israel. Everyone is to blame for this mess – no one is innocent, my friends, but the children of both nations. And, they are the ones to suffer the most for they have lost mothers, fathers, uncles, aunts, siblings, limbs, and lives, etc.
I’m not going to discuss whether Israel has a right to exist (that argument is moot). It exists now. By the way, everyone knows that Hitler was part Jewish and originally from Austria (an arsehole of the highest order – LOSER! LOSER! who killed his own people and performed an intellectually void misreading of Nietzsche).
So, let’s get everybody to the table for war is stupid and nonsensical – a testament to the fact that our human race is entirely uncivilized! But, the world doesn’t have to devolve because it revolves resolutely. Again, it is your choice.
With love and concern,

On Silver - From Dr. A. B. Blinky
Your gold piece rings true and I checkmate you by saying the rise in gold will be out-blasted by silver and while what you say is true, it’s just a mind-XXXing, intellectual expose versus the pragmatic case for silver.
I could go on for pages as to why, once the price manipulation in silver by two to four naked short sellers on the commodities trade exchange is stopped (DOJ and the commodities exchange currently investigating and will assess criminal penalties), the price of silver (now between $17 and $18/ounce) and currently over 1:60 the price of gold, will rise exponentially.
Silver is not just a jewelry piece but an industrial and medical metal. There is plenty of gold around and underground. There is no shortage in gold while there is a shortage in silver, and on and on. Gold is driven by fear and silver by happiness.
I agree with what you say about gold, but put your money on Hi Ho Silver.

Rexemus' Brief Bio (in his own words)
I totally agree with you that we're in a huge financial mess and that what's lacking at the leadership levels is a radical solution along the lines of the break that FDR made from his own class to prevent a revolution in this country in the thirties and to restore the foundations of capitalism.
About the rise of gold, I've been reading about that for years. May or may not happen. [Aside from HippoParamus - thanks Rex, that was conclusive, indeed!]
I'm not sure if I told you, but from 2002 to 2004, I was, for the first and last time in my life, intensely political. I protested the impending war in Iraq, I started a blog that offered media analysis and political commentary (1,400 unique viewers a month from all over the world, a request to publish on other sites and personal contact with some of the authors whose books I reviewed), and I devoured research material on a variety of topics such as oil, terrorism, American history, espionage, media politics - you name it.
Ultimately, I began to get burned out on that but I also realized that politics is a superficial layer in the greater equation. What was needed on my part (the personal) was to face my own fears, drives, and habits and what was needed globally (the trans-personal) was a fundamental transformation of consciousness. These things will not occur through politics but will impact political outcomes.

I Never Play Any Games of Chance
Ladies, Tomboys, and Gentlemen:
Gold will rise. Why?
Because by 2015, 25% of all tax receipts in the U.S. will go to pay interest on the Federal debt alone. The IMF says that the debt is now reaching 100% of GDP. How unfortunate! This is original research and my internal conclusions.
Of course, there is a possibility for a slight margin of error but I doubt it after you read further.
Because of our growing enormous debt, everyone is dumping the greenback. China and Greece, others will follow, further depressing the value of the dollar. Therefore, commodities are the only answer (for the time being).
Simultaneously, the only country that dumped gold was Austria (but they were trying to buoy the Euro, which is also failing miserably (for it’s own reasons) - I know why but don’t have enough space in this email to elaborate.
As you may recall, in 1972, Nixon took the greenback off the gold peg (this is relevant, and I will explain after the following paragraph).
First one idiot President (Bush W.) gets us involved in two unnecessary wars (Iraq and Afghanistan) at an expense of a $400 Billion +/- deficit per year. Then, the second idiot President (Barach O.) worsens a fiscal mess by his insane overspending (I’m almost fully certain that he will only be a one-termer) because he promised “hope and change,” but he should have told the truth “my hope is for America’s change.” Then, he got even greedier by paying off his hedge fund supporters in Connecticut and Wall Street bankers (who BTW just got bonuses of $45B within the past 4 months or so). Get mad! Get very mad!
Who must be the next President to rectify this situation? It must be Rand Paul, just newly elected Senator of Kentucky (yesterday). His father is Ron Paul, Representative of Texas (18th district), who is urging that the dollar be pegged back to gold, so the son will follow. This is the only way to save the dollar in my estimation.
If my calculations are right (and there are variables that I don’t know about yet), gold will rise inordinately within the next several years.
As an addendum to all this: the two major financial centers outside of the U.S. (London and Dubai) are also failing miserably. All construction in Dubai has stopped despite that emirate’s grand hopes for their grand mobile skyscrapers – an inevitable result of the global recession. For a glut, is just a stoppage and that’s it (das ist es, meine heute freunde). Plus, Hong Kong and Japan (financially) don’t matter b/c they have no real say so on what goes on in world matters. And, India and China are in environmental shambles.
Again, it is your choice whether you will learn to think for yourself or blindly follow any ideology.
With love,
HippoParamus
P.S. – I’ve got to do these stupid business and finance things to fuel my true intellectual endeavors because one day, I will read Heidegger in German in the Black Forest (in Germany) and get a Phd in Religion and Philosophy.
P.S.S. – It’s fun playing “I Claudius” all the time. One can learn a lot by just listening, observing, and reading.

Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo!
When someone has a stroke, where the oxygen was completely depleted from the brain, there will be a center of dead brain cells. These are unrecoverable.
Then, there is a “penumbra” around the dead cells (like a halo around a circular mass). If the patient is not placed into a hyperbaric oxygen ASAP (within 5-6 hours or earlier preferably) after the stroke, the penumbra of brain cells will too be deadened. What an extreme loss!
The oxygen chamber provides oxygen levels of greater than 11 times normal or up to 620 mmHg so the chamber literally “pushes” oxygen to the penumbra thereby re-enlivening these cells before they become unrecoverable.
It is up to you whether you will waste our collective knowledge or implement and execute.

Good News – Bacchus Is Back
Remember: “People who laugh easily, cry easily.” (Auntie Harsharon circa 1994)
For all existence is emotional, existential, philosophical, political, and religious.
Everyone wants to forget that one cares; they don’t want to cry in public, they just want to laugh (because that’s easy).
It is up to you whether you will stand at attention and forget your own emotions all your lives or will you truly cry and get the emotion out.
Everyone loves you when you’re young, rich, and beautiful.
When one is wrestling with the world of responsibility, then they turn and look away (because they are just interested in themselves, and they’re only concern is ease).
But, I can’t stand lazy people.
For the riches of the spirit are the true riches of one’s own life. Rich people take care of their family, their friends, and their things (largely existentially and ontologically meaningless).
It’s so funny when I give away 2K necklaces to my friends because my mother get’s so pissed. That moment of her distress is the moment when I laugh my arse off. But, I don’t give anything away that I didn’t earn by myself, by my own laurels.
I don’t care about things; I care about people.
When a house is burning, what happens? First, the children are removed, then the others, then the pets, then the pictures (for those our most important possessions; our memories (Saint Augustine)).
Cheers,
- HippoParamus (Bacchus - the God of Wine)
P.S.: After my planning phase, I will move now forward with “all deliberate speed.” Brown v. Board of Education (1954) for precision is my best sport.

I’m Not Going to Make It Easy for You Anymore
Okay, I’m not going to make it easy for you anymore.
I write in essay format to deliver the most information as possible; to make it easy.
For Shelley, Keats, Wordsworth, Byron, Krishnatmurti, Herman Hesse, Dickens, Spence, Ayn Rand, Edgar Rice Bouroughs, Jane Austin, and many more are my true companions.
Now, you choose whether you will stand at attention ad infinitum or disgrace yourselves with your own inelegant ineloquence dictating your future and existence.
Again, it is your choice.

All Existence is Religious and Political
Again, all existence is religious and political.
I’m not going to say: “Jesus wants you to buy these products.”
I don’t want to shove anything down your throats because there are good and bad people in every religious and political venue. Personal navigation amongst these various people and ideologies is doubly difficult. Who and what should one believe?
There are fundamental truths that are in concert with our collective intuition, such as honesty, integrity, and decency. These are the essential truths of existence and being.
Stay away from the bad people (you know who they are intuitively).
Only engage these idiots when you have reconfigured and reformulated yourself and are tough enough.
It is your choice whether you will stand at attention all your life or fully engage. So, in the interim, protect the good people; yourself; your children; and your family.
And, help me handle the bad people for I’ve become tough enough to fully engage them.
I believe in the infinite elegance and strength of all of humanity.
Yours,
HippoParamus

Choose Wisely
Ladies, Tomboys, and Gentlemen:
It is all there; it’s all here on my blog.
I’m doing the best that I can.
I’ve planned every possible debate argument (that I can foresee) to support the next Presidential bid as a speech writer.
I already know who will win.
So, you decide how you will vote. It is up to you because I can’t choose for you; I can only choose for myself.
It is up to you.
Will we make this country grand or let an idiot President (Barach Obama) leverage the future of our children for political gain and guide our future?
By 2015, 25% of all tax receipts will go to just go to pay off the Federal debt interest.
Again, it is your choice.

Empathy Is the Highest Form of Intelligence
For John Rutledge told me 13 years ago: “empathy is the highest form of intelligence.”
But, I was too ignorant and dense to understand at that time.
Now, I have a better understanding of what Rutledge meant.
It is LOVE: love for one’s family, one’s friends, for one’s fellow citizenry, and for our global population.
Das ist est, meine heute freunde. That’s it.
I have nothing more to add beyond what Rutledge said.

There Will Be a Spiritual Revolution
Ladies, Tomboys, and Gentlemen:
There will be a Spiritual Revolution spearheaded by the real artists and the real intellectuals.
You choose whether you want to be on the vanguard or in the rearguard.
It is your choice.
If you want to stay in your safety zone because it’s easy, please do so, by all means. It’s up to you.
If fear dominates your existence, then you lose.
For true spirit defines the Divine Spirit and will dictate the future Zeitgeist.
Again, it is up to you.
For the Sufi’s have a saying: “What you fear and hate will come to you.”
I turned it around: “Do not fear or hate anything.”
So, guess, who is the toughest dude in the world?

There will be a Spiritual Revolution spearheaded by the real artists and the real intellectuals.
You choose whether you want to be on the vanguard or in the rearguard.
It is your choice.
If you want to stay in your safety zone because it’s easy, please do so, by all means. It’s up to you.

How to Solve Hacking Problems
As far as your hacking problem, the solution might be for you to ask your folks to use a robust encryption program. If they double encrypt with a 1,024-bit program, problem solved.
If they triple encrypt - there is virtually no hope that any supercomputer will be able to dissolve the message. I wrote "What Commericalizing the Internet for Physicists" (circa 1993) for Computers in Physics when I was Assistant Editor for this four-color periodical.
Yeah, I'm a total geek. I've always been a geek and always will be.
I read David Copperfield (Dickens) when I was 8 year's old and then again when I was 10 year's old in 1977. I did my major fictional reading before I was 12. Now, I only read non-fiction.
When I read Princess Cassamissima (by Henry James) in 1996; my heart broke so I had to cry by myself for an hour. So, I don't read fiction anymore.
I only read non-fiction now b/c, it's easier. Like Hymns to an Unknown God (by a Harvard theological professor).

The Garden
There is a Chinese proverb: “If you want to be happy for a day, buy a bottle of wine. If you want to be happy for three days, get married. If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, build a garden.”
- presented to me by Richard Miniter (circa 1992)
I am building a garden of family and friends based on trust, kindness, sweetness, and honesty.
So, who do you think will be the happiest person in the world?
Why, me, of course.
I’m the luckiest dude in the world: best family, best friends, and best career. I already won the lottery!
If I had 50 cents a day to live on, 49 cents would go to my family and friends, and I would keep a penny for myself for I only need a “peppercorn of consideration” to exist and live.
With love,
HippoParamus

From James - He'll Make You All Crack Up
Okay, I need to respond to these items one at a time.
• All this time, I thought you could have power over others. When I get home, I’m going to have to release those people locked up in my basement and apologize.
• Kyoto, isn’t that the treaty that everyone else signed and then no one actually implemented because it was too costly, unverifiable, and allowed the largest polluters (not per capita) to avoid any regulation? You don’t even want to get into the ‘per capita argument’; let’s just have 14 billion more people, and then we won’t have to deal with regulation because our ‘per capita’ pollution will be down to the level of ordinary cow flatulence.
• Bush is to blame for a lot of things, but I think we should put the Gulf oil spill on Cheney. His Halliburton connections probably mean that Halliburton is trying to increase the value of their Mc D’s franchise at the expense of Long John Silver’s. Boy, those guys must use some Super Computers for their planning; you’d think they’d have been able to predict how easily all the conspiracy theorists would catch on to them (especially now that the relationship between Kennedy’s death and Blackwater is pretty much out in the open). Lord knows: XXX saw it coming.
• Those Arabs are trickier than I thought. Cheney and Bush planned everything, but XXX is an Arab company, so they’re getting the advantage. Way to deflect suspicion. Who knew; I figured it was part of a Zionist conspiracy.
• We’ve been fighting over ideology? All this time I thought it was oil (that’s what XXX told me). Funny, now that I think of it, we haven’t gotten any of that free oil yet; I put my order in months ago.
You probably are just realizing it, but I’m an insane, left-wing Republican.

It's About How One Takes Care of One's Kids
Y'all:
Do you think I care about "money, power, or status?" These notional items are worthless because the only real power that one has is power over oneself. Nes' pa?
If you count all the CO2 emissions from the disgusting SUVs and other cars/trucks, etc., I suppose you are right (as well as the other emissions from our hopeless global emissions project (while every country in the world tries to race for the Greenback or the EURO or for any other currency). This is an extremely pathetic situation.
Too bad that Bush didn't sign the Kyoto Treaty. But, then again, Bush Sr. (originally from Connecticut) and Bush Jr. (grew up in Texass - yes he was a pain in the ass), did have their own oil interests in heart (for those were not their real possessions).
For when that stupid Cheney (dickbag) succumbed to his own obsession with money and power; they carved up the territory in the Tigres and Euphrates Rivers (Iraq). And, Cheney used 911 to convince the idiot, Bush Jr,. to attack Iraq. Henceforth, the problem in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I can win contracts at will; it's easy. I've already mastered every part of proposal writing whatever section: management, past performance, technical, resumes, whatever, etc...
How much pain do we have to take? Back and forth; back and forth. How many people have to lose their lives or limbs for someone else's inane ideology? You ask yourself!
HippoParamus
P.S. - I am moving out of proposal writing into starting my own company to represent musicians, artists, and writers. I will do this gradually. Before I do this, I will create a core team to win contracts.
P.S.S, - I challenge Cheney to a duel in quail hunting, thumbwrestling, chess, and basketball. Let's see who get's shot in the face. For I would never shoot my personal 70-year-old friend, personal attorney in the face (Cheney did it on purpose b/c he has no moral standards). Money without personal moral standards = LOSER!!!

Don't Ever Piss Me Off
Dudes:
No one wants to piss me off.
You better not b/c, when I get pissed off, you will lose all your resources.
I know how to play chess in four, three, and two dimensions (had to make it easy for you by downgrading).
I can play in the fifth dimension but you won’t understand.
I have tremendous resources. Because, one person can change the world.
It doesn’t matter for I already know who that person is but I won’t tell the world who because I protect everyone – that is my nature. I protect and care for everyone.
You can figure it out for yourselves, because it’s about the TEAM (not one person or the company one works for or for mere surroundings).
It is up to you?!?
HippoParamus / General Pum Pum
P.S. – that person is YOU – you just couldn’t see it but I did in each and every one of you. So, you make the choice whether you will make your life, or you will stand at attention forever.
P.S.S. – VENI, VIDI, VICI and I can’t remember the rest . . . for I am your Victor. And, I won’t stop b/c I’m not scared anymore.

On China
There are now 1.2 billion people in China.
How will you take care of our global family?
I'm sorry about Mao Tse-Tung and the "Cultural Revolution."
It is up to you.
There is no territory worth conquering besides your own heart. Release Tibet. The Dalai Lama has to live in Dharamsala, India because of your incessant greed. For again, "the only territory to conquer is one's own heart."
When I read that 40 million men will have no woman b/c of the stupid "one family, one child" rule, my heart broke.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Confucious once said: "It is better to love than to be loved."
You make the choice whether you want to destroy yourselves environmentally to gain a yen or the greenback. It is your choice.
Cheers,
HippoParamus
P.S. - the opening of the Olympic ceremony in Beijing was immensely creative, beautiful, and awesome!

Business Is Stupid
Dudes:
These guys are so stupid sitting around in corporate surroundings all the time – boning off on their own perceived egos. It’s so funny to watch. WTF are they doing? Shitting in their own pants, I suppose.
“Business is not intellectual; it’s stupid.” (Addrienne)
They think it’s intellectual, but have no idea how stupid they are. While I’m sitting there quietly, being my decent myself, I have to listen to their incessant cacophony ad infinitum.
Okay, now the real story begins; if you can understand it, for it will take a little effort.
George Soros traded the pound in one day and made a billion dollars. He beat the BRITS at their own game. Good for him – I think he is awesome!!!
He said twelve or thirteen years ago: “Business is amoral.”
He was right.
But, it is your choice. Can we make a moral choice or an immoral one?
It’s up to you.
Cheers,
HippoParamus

The Opening of the Third Eye
It takes a lot of effort; for I was all by myself alone; it hurt so much. It burns and hurts but the strength that one gains is infinitely fun.
Unlike Krishnamurti, who had a whole bunch of people around him (lucky dude) (I love that man, dudes). On the other hand, I was all alone.
My crown chakhra is opening now – that takes time; but it opens in segments.
When it fully opens; I will take care of all of you, but my request is that you take care of me too.
I don’t have much time, but I have all the time in the world?
The question is: will you take care of me? If I take care of you, then you must take care of me. It must be mutual.
With love,
Bhoddissatva 7556

I'm a Puppy, Man, I Love Everyone
The point is love; love for one's family, one's friends, and one's global citizenry.
For we are moving out of the Age of Pisces (the age of dissencion (sp?) and warfare) into the Age of Aquarius (the great age of communication).
There will be a Spiritual Revolution spearheaded by the real artists and the real intellectuals. And, guess who is on the vanguard? We are.

Keep the Communication Alive
KarolR:
Yes, one must keep the communication alive. For what truly matters is "love, music, and art."
It is the love that one has for one's family, for one's friends, and one's fellow citizenry - for our global citizenry.
Because, we are all God's works of art.
Music and art are primarily just expressions of that love.
Cheers,
HippoParamus
